Well, Thompson himself feels that the interference of this ball is enough. There is no need to overemphasize blocking shots. The true meaning of defense is not to block shots. It is enough to prevent the opponent from scoring. Thinking of this, Thompson did not look back to the inside.

, instead, prepare to start directly from the bottom line and rush to the frontcourt.

The Warriors' backcourt rebounding has always been what Cole emphasizes the most. They can do without low-post rebounds in the frontcourt, but they cannot do without low-post rebounds in the backcourt. Especially against the Lakers, they basically adopt a large number of squatting at the basket and rely on "people".

The method of "more power, more power" squeezes out Tang Qian's action space, and then relies on the characteristics of the "five small lineups" after getting the ball to force a start, and he can still counterattack defensively. This is also the "five small lineups"

What is difficult to contain is that after protecting the backcourt rebounds, they can actually initiate high-speed transitions between offense and defense again, and the probability of doing so is high, which is difficult for other teams to do.

Only five people who can quickly switch between offense and defense can have this confidence and strength.

"Little Kuailing" has really been developed to its limit by them.

Tang Qian is very strong, but when facing the Warriors' strong contraction of the basket, he also feels a headache. After all, other teams are so shrinking, basically the team's chance to play fast is gone, and he can rush back in time.

, positioned to guard the basket. But when it comes to the Warriors, the situation has changed. They can still play fast after shrinking, which completely feels like "cheating". No wonder they are obviously a fast-paced team that mainly focuses on small balls.

, but both defense and rebounding are excellent. The secret lies in these details. Cole found a solution to fill all the problems in this system. No wonder the Warriors were so strong when they came out.

The entire alliance is invincible.

It's not covered.

In addition, the Lakers lack the support of the defensive system, and they barely return. They are still in a state of unsteady footing and haven't had time to adjust. This way, it is easy for the Warriors to take advantage of it, seize the opportunity, and hit the ball into the basket.

But this time it was a pity that Tang Qian didn't even intend to run back. 1 to 2 seconds after Butler took the shot, a "swipe" sound was heard through the microphone near the basket and backboard, and it immediately spread throughout Oracle.

Arena. Needless to say, this sound has only one meaning on the basketball court, and that is, a goal was scored. Yes, Jimmy Butler scored another 3 points.

44-54, the score difference narrowed to exactly 10 points.

The Warriors passed and cut, and the baseline went around. Curry made a big circle, disrupted the Lakers' defense, attracted the pass, and the basketball went into Thompson's hands. Butler changed direction and pounced towards Thompson.

But when someone saw this, he passed the ball again, and the basketball was passed to Barnes in the bottom corner. Because the defensive formation had been disrupted by the Warriors, only Tang Qian had the chance to save the ball. Barnes took a look, and in the bottom corner

A three-point shot was made, but it was precisely because of this aim that Tang Qian rushed out from the inside and wanted to kill him with a slap. Barnes was also surprised by the speed and height of No. 29's save, so he sped up his shot and the basketball bounced

The shot from the frame was a long rebound, and Green got it. Green's shot went straight to the Lakers' basket.

"Oops, this ball gave the Warriors an advantage, and all their defensive efforts were in vain."

Zhang Weiping of Tianchao Sports said this. It can be seen that he also regrets this round. After all, the Lakers spent a lot of effort. Tang Qian even rushed out and finally blocked one, but still had this result. It was a bit of a shock.

The morale is unacceptable. At this time, someone decisively let go of his defender and assisted in the defense and pursuit. He was Jimmy Butler. Butler's ball appeared suddenly. Although Green wanted to stabilize it,

But after a physical confrontation, the basketball still came out of the basket.

The rebound was actually "stolen" by Curry, a little man. He happened to hit the ball's rebound path while moving. It was good luck and he got another offensive rebound for the Warriors. He directly basketed the ball.

He took a quick shot to end this chaotic round, but the basketball was halfway through the air when someone slapped him hard on the backboard.

It turned out that Tang Qian came back and gave Curry a nail plate hat.

"Great job." Tang Qian patted Jimmy Butler's butt and rushed forward.

What he said was not a lie, but the truth. If Butler's defense had not successfully delayed, Green's ball would have gone in, and Tang Qian would not have waited for Tang Qian to come back and nail the board to block "elementary schoolboy" Curry's quick shot from the basket.

Butler has been encouraged and his confidence has significantly improved. In recent rounds, he has made two three-pointers and successfully defended. It can be said that his presence on the court suddenly increased. And as soon as he has a sense of presence.

, Butler himself feels that his attention has been concentrated a lot. This sense of presence and deliberately seeking a sense of presence are two different things. One is to do well, and the sense of presence will naturally appear, which comes from the attention of the outside world. The other is to do well.

What about one kind? It’s entirely my own doing, with completely different meanings.

This is also a natural effect. Successful defense and successful offense can both bring about this situation.

Unexpectedly, after coming over, Butler just caught the ball and found that the defender had changed.

From Klay Thompson to Andre Iguodala, who is more courageous defensively, the latter's single defense has reached its strongest peak in this year's playoffs. He is known as the "FMVP who can defend" is not fake.

.James only has a shooting percentage of less than 40% under his massive single defense. It can be imagined that he is still the Jimmy Butler who transformed in the first year. Butler was also defended by Iguodala in this series.

, because except for the "five small lineups", under normal circumstances Iguodala is the substitute for the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.

It was normal for Butler to be targeted by him. This man with extremely clear muscle lines gave him a terrifying sense of defensive pressure in the series. This kind of pressure did not appear when facing the latter in the regular season.

Yes, it's normal. Since Cole took over the Golden State Warriors, Iguodala has been "dozing off" in the regular season, so of course there is no big feeling when he encounters him.

As for the playoffs, they are two completely different people.

The joke about Iguodala "playing only a dozen games a year" started when Cole coached the Warriors.

Just when Jimmy Butler seemed to be hesitating, a loud roar came from the low post:

"What are you waiting for? What are you thinking? Just take action! Fuck him!!!"

"Hit him!!!"
